Mass Locations on St. Gertrude Campus
St. Gertrude East Mass (Sundays at 9:30 am)
In the intimate setting of the foyer of Sacred Heart School’s gymnasium, Sunday Mass is celebrated at 9:30 am in the Campbell Building, 6230 N. Sheridan Rd. The choir provides a wonderful mix of familiar hymns and classical church music to enhance the prayerful participation of all. Some people come early to chat, and on the fourth Sunday of the month, remain for coffee.
St. Gertrude Gym Mass (Sundays at 10:30 am) (currently on hiatus)
Music, liturgical dance, and drama engage participants in the celebration of our faith. Short parishioner reflections after the homily allow people to share their own experiences of faith and living out the Gospel. Fellowship, coffee, and refreshments follow the Mass.
Mass is celebrated Sundays at 10:30 am in the Gym from September through June 16. All are welcome!

Family Masses
Family Masses are celebrated monthly at the 10:00 am Mass in Church. These Masses are geared towards families with primary and middle school-age children.
Each month, one grade of children in St. Gertrude’s Religious Ed programs and NCA host a Mass. Children from these grades serve as greeters at the entrances of church, welcoming parishioners and visitors as they arrive for Mass, and also bring up the gifts of bread and wine with their families. Hospitality follows, except during Lent.
New Family Masses will be announced at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year.
10:30 am Combined Masses
Combined Masses will now start at 10:30 am and be held in lieu of the 9:30 am St. Gertrude East Mass, 10:00 am, 10:30 am Gym Mass, and 11:30 am Masses.
